Question

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation X squared -10 X equals -34

Answer 1

x = 5+3i, x = 5-3i

Explanation:

x^2-10x=-34

Add 34 to both sides:

x^2-10x+34 = -34+34

Simplify:

x^2-10x+34=0

Use the quadratic formula using both (+/- after the first -10):

x =
`(-(-10)+√((-10)^2 -4*1*34) )/(2*1)`

Simplify:

x = 5 + 3i

x = 5 - 3i
